Summary:
The Onalaska School District in Washington serves high school students through a single institution, Onalaska High School, which enrolls 281 students in grades 9-12.
Onalaska High School demonstrates clear strengths, particularly its 90% graduation rate, which is well above the state average, and its science proficiency, which also outperforms Washington's average. The school has shown impressive, consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the last three years, moving from the bottom 20% of schools into the top half. This positive trajectory is a significant indicator of effective school programs and support systems.
However, the school faces a notable challenge in mathematics, where student proficiency is significantly below both the district and state averages. This disparity stands in contrast to its performance in other subjects and its high graduation success. For parents, this means the school provides a supportive environment that helps students graduate but may require seeking additional support or resources to ensure students are equally strong in core math skills as they prepare for life after high school.
